Chapter 1513: Poverty Limits Combat Effectiveness!
In times of crisis, in times of great difficulty.
It should have been more efficient than ever, united to fend off a strong enemy.
However, although the idea is good, the reality is cruel.
It took the Interstellar Coalition five or six years to show the world how procrastinating and lazy they can be.
In the past five or six years, babies have been born from crying and crying, and have become smart and cute children in kindergartens, and the students who have forgotten to sleep and eat to prepare for the college entrance examination have all graduated from bachelor's degrees, and those college students who are obsessed with playing games have graduated and joined the work and began to be forced to marry......
What has the Interstellar Alliance done for such a long time?
There are good things netizens have made detailed statistics, before the establishment of the Interstellar Alliance, 471 large and small international multinational conferences were held, of which there were as many as 74 summit-level talks.
What is this concept?
It's like having a meeting every two or three days, where is there so much to discuss? And even if there is, what about efficiency?
Someone sorted out the progress.
After more than three years of fierce confrontation and power competition, the Interstellar Alliance was officially established last year, but don't be happy, this is an empty shelf, not a single soldier, not a single gun, not a single bullet, not to mention the interstellar battleship and crew, even the headquarters base, and the meetings are all held in the interstellar navigation control center.
The center's base undertakes communication relay, emergency rescue and other tasks, and is a shared base invested by many countries, but its carrying capacity is extremely limited, and tens of millions of tons of interstellar ships can only berth no more than six, let alone assemble interstellar warships.
There are no soldiers, no ships, no bases, and the efficiency of such an interstellar alliance in the preparation process has simply amazed countless netizens.
Operations Department, Training Department, Logistics Department, Armaments Department, Finance Department...... Almost every department is established, as if it has to go through 9981 difficulties, and it has to quarrel for three or five weeks or even a month or two.
Fortunately, under such a procrastinating efficiency, the middle and high-level management shelves of the interstellar alliance have been erected, and with the support of the ten countries with the strongest comprehensive national strength, although the interstellar alliance is inefficient, it can be regarded as slow to operate.
But the good times didn't last long, and everyone can say that the cost of petty fights is okay, and now the interstellar alliance has reached the most critical and expensive link of 'recruiting troops', and there are contradictions.
Countries have different economic strengths, and so do the financial pressures of governments.
Since China has the largest population and the strongest comprehensive national strength, should it pay the most expenses? If the population is only a few million, and the country is small and weak, can it not pay a penny?
If you want to say this, then Huaxia's promise to requisition and transfer from the interstellar combat forces in the future to the interstellar coalition for use in the interstellar carriers, space fighters and other equipment, should also be converted into shareholding funds?
But even so, the interstellar combat equipment that Huaxia has requisitioned and transferred in service or mothballed is intact and can be used directly, but there are still people who question that these are backward and not advanced and powerful enough.
Money money money money is connected to life.
Everyone knows that interstellar wars are very money-burning, even if the technology is advanced and the technology is mature, the cost of interstellar ships is not so cheap, and a civilian 10-million-ton interstellar spaceship is worth tens of billions of yuan.
And if it is to be used to participate in interstellar warfare, it is an interstellar battleship with strong offensive and defensive capabilities and advanced facilities and equipment, a Dragon Soul-class interstellar destroyer, the bulk order price is as high as 80 billion yuan, and the God of War-class interstellar battleship is not cheaper, and the bulk purchase price is also as high as 130 billion yuan.
These prices were all quotations made by Xiao Lan, as the CEO of Weile Group, after negotiating with the interstellar alliance many times and doing everything possible to reduce costs before Qin Tian came back.
After all, even if it is hundreds of thousands of tons of alloy steel, it is worth a lot of money, Weile Group sells at cost price, workers' wages and benefits, production equipment loss, material transportation and warship testing, etc., which link does not cost money?
Every time an interstellar warship is built for the interstellar alliance, Weile Group is equivalent to a loss of three or five billion yuan, but even so, the interstellar alliance still has no money to procure.
Even according to the three sets of combat plans proposed by Feng Peng before, choose the one with the least demand.
If you want to have an absolute chance of winning against the Ndia civilization, you need at least 500 interstellar battleships, at least 2,000 interstellar destroyers, plus reconnaissance ships, supply ships, engineering ships, as well as various reconnaissance satellites, probes, and various energy ammunition, pulse ammunition, etc., plus personnel recruitment, wages and benefits, casualty benefits, etc., and so on, it is impossible to do it without 3500 billion yuan.
According to the optimistic estimation of the Finance Department of the Interstellar Alliance, countries need to raise about 400 trillion yuan as war funds, and to win this interstellar war, it is conservatively estimated that the cost will be about 10 trillion yuan.
Even if the earth's human civilization has developed rapidly in recent years, the population has exploded, with Dastan, Adams, Bor, Cabola and other planets, a large number of new markets and huge consumer populations, and the social wealth has been increasing, but one trillion is basically equivalent to the total wealth of human civilization on the earth.
In other words, that is, all countries in the world simply can't come up with so much money, let alone 10 trillion, even if it is 400 billion, and it is evenly distributed to the top 100 countries with the strongest comprehensive national strength in the world, and each country bears the cost of 4 trillion yuan, which also makes many countries unaffordable.
In some countries, the annual GDP output value is only a few tens of billions or four trillion yuan, and they can't get so much money even if they are sold.
And it is impossible to print the money directly by the money printing machine, which requires purchasing power, not a pile of waste paper.
If you can't come up with money, how can you recruit people and buy equipment? How can you still fight?
It's not enough to coerce Weile Group to provide hundreds or thousands of starships for free, right?
Interstellar warships do not come out of thin air, they need a large number of various alloy materials and composite materials, and adopt modular construction technology to build the hull and then splice and weld it into a whole, which is only the hull frame, and also needs to install a large number of reconnaissance, communications, command, power, attack, defense and a large number of instruments and equipment.
Weile Aerospace Science and Technology has made a special popular science report, taking an interstellar passenger ship with a passenger capacity of 20,000 people as an example, it has consumed 30,000 tons of various metal and non-metal composite materials, and installed more than 300,000 (groups) of various instruments and equipment......
This is like a car, the more luxurious and advanced the car, in addition to the added value brought by the brand effect, in fact, its own manufacturing materials, processes and equipment parts, etc., are to spend a lot of money.
What's more, a powerful and ferocious interstellar battleship, a third-generation fighter was worth hundreds of millions of yuan in the past, and a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was worth tens of billions.
Even so, netizens were surprised to find that the interstellar coalition forces were still too poor and hard.
As of the uproar on the Internet, the investment of various countries was posted on the Internet, and everyone was surprised to find that the small investment of various countries can be described as a 'drop in the bucket'.
A total of 48 countries and regions have contributed, and the Finance Department of the Interstellar Alliance has a total income of more than 3 billion yuan, with an average of less than 100 million.
Will you buy a dozen space fighters, find a dozen warriors who are not afraid of death, and go to the end of the Ndia civilization like moths to the flames? Or buy a small high-speed official airship and pull over a nuclear bomb with an explosive yield of 10 billion to see if you can destroy the Ndia civilization with a single nuclear bomb?
With only more than three billion, they want to fight with the extremely powerful Endia civilization that has controlled several large territories of several galaxies, which is simply like a group of weak scum, pooling money to buy a fruit knife, and wanting to kill the powerful and strong professional killer.
Big joke!
The efficiency of the interstellar coalition is sluggish, the funds are scarce, the establishment is not neat, and the equipment is zero......
Can such an interstellar coalition shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving all mankind on Earth? Can it be worth entrusting the lives of tens of billions of people with their entire families?
After reading such a deep dig out of the details of the interstellar alliance, many netizens knew the truth, and it was really a man and a woman's tears.
"There's a spicy sentence next door, I don't know if I should say it or not!"
Although people have made a fortune without becoming famous, they are still unable to escape in the end!
"Counting on the interstellar alliance to defend the earth, it is better to draw a circle and curse the Ndia civilization to self-destruct!"
"There is no money to invest in immigrating to Planet Adams, and the interstellar alliance can't count on it, it's a tragedy with a capital letter!"
"Cherish the last twenty or thirty years, anyway, if we die, future generations will ask for more blessings!"
"How can countries be so poor? With more than 3 billion yuan contributed, where is there enough money to fight an interstellar war!
"Life must be happy! cherish the good times of the last years!"
"Hurry up and earn more money, maybe you can catch up with the last wave of interstellar immigrants!"
……
Such an unsightly performance of the interstellar alliance quickly sparked widespread heated discussions.
The center of the whirlpool of public opinion has also shifted from the Weile Group to the Interstellar Alliance, and everyone has turned from the very beginning of criticizing and complaining about why Qin Tian did not dedicate the Weile Group, and has turned into a cynical ridicule of the strange efficiency and laziness of the member countries of the Interstellar Alliance.
Fortunately, this war is not about to start recently, otherwise it will definitely cause a larger public opinion chaos, or even a rush of fleeing, but even so, those who want to emigrate but have not made up their minds are now determined to emigrate.
And those who can't immigrate have also begun to have a lot of extreme performances, and some people have begun to donate to the interstellar coalition, not only donating themselves, but also writing various soft articles and sending them to various groups in the circle of friends, mobilizing family, friends, colleagues, etc. to donate money, and it is almost clear that they are not earthlings if they don't donate.
Some began to enjoy themselves, as if they were going to die tomorrow, and more people began to work hard to make money, and there were still twenty or thirty years to work hard, and the dream of immigration still had to be had, what if it came true?
Hundreds of millions of people have their own ways of living and considerations.
Weile Group has successfully escaped the accusations of public opinion and countless people have spurned and criticized, but the interstellar alliance is in a worrying situation.
Posts of scolding and denouncing are flying all over the sky, all kinds of complaining emails are overwhelming, and there are a large number of harassing phone calls and abuses, if it weren't for the fact that the headquarters of the Interstellar Alliance is in outer space, I'm afraid that countless people would have to pull banners and throw rotten eggs.
In such a scolding public opinion background, Feng Peng and Liu Chen, who are infamous and heavy-duty, can't sleep at night.
At this time when global public opinion is in an uproar, when mankind is in danger, except for Qin Tian, who can immediately turn the tide in times of crisis?
